EBSCO Database Email Function Currently Down

December 3, 2013by jkremer

The email function within all the Library’s EBSCO databases is down. We are in contact with EBSCO right now to get an estimate time when EBSCO will fix the problem.

For now, we suggest you either print the articles or use the Permalink feature. Permalink is the permanent url to the article. Open up the record of the article you want – you will see a Permalink option on right hand side. Click on that and copy the Permalink url. Then go into your email and send then Permalink to yourself.

Note: If you want the Permalink url to work from off-campus, you must add the following prefix : https://libdb.fairfield.edu/login?url=. So the new url might look like: https://libdb.fairfield.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=psyh&AN=2013-28464-002&site=ehost-live. Here are more directions on how to do this.

We know this is frustrating for our students and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will alert you as soon as EBSCO fixes the email capability.
